Welcome to an increasingly wintry week’s start and to our conundrum for today.
Liz Lynne denies the charges, and is currently standing to become the party’s president. She has also been accused of avoiding meetings in which the alleged abuse was to be discussed.
Our question this week then, is just this: what do you make of the allegation itself?

An allegation is just that, an allegation. That in itself doesn’t make her guilty.
However you have 2 people, the PA and the social worker who corrobrate each others account which differs from Liz Lynne’s. The social worker went on to give the dossier to the police, no doubt mentioning what steps he had taken previously to bring it to the attention of those who needed to know to do something about it. It is clear that the police followed up the claims as the school was closed. It’s not clear how long it took to close and if any MPs including LL, were informed of the reason before, during or after. That would be in police or social workers records, possibly both.
It is logical to assume Liz Lynne told her PA to ignore the report and destroy the papers. The prevading culture then, as now, is to prevent a scandal.
Why would the PA have taken the notes home and then destroyed them? Why not destroy them in the office immediately as told? If taken home why destroy them at all? That was, after all, evidence of the social worker’s call to himself.
One has to question the timing of the allegations, coinciding with her standing for the Presidency of the Party. Why has it taken so long? Why only now?
We don’t have all the facts but we do know there was a cover up about Cyril Smilths paedophillic activities. The person who would have been in the position to know would have been LL! She may have felt she had to cover his tracks for the good of the party. It’s doubtful she would have been interested in a school full of boys in the care system and what was happening to them. They were not in the position to make waves. It’s possible she knew what CS was up to, to be quick to tell the PA to destroy the notes. If it were the first she heard about them, surely she would have sat on them a while deciding what to do. She would only have been concerned about the impact of a scandal should it be discovered!
What is needed is a full inquiry!

The existence of an elite paedophile ring has been an open secret in Parliament, the police and security and intelligence services, the courts and local governments for decades. The most compelling necessity to insure that children were protected in the future was to expose the cover-up and the Waterhouse Tribunal of Inquiry avoided doing so. http://macurstatement.blogspot.com.ar/2013/07/review-statement-of-andrea-davison-1.html
